Integrating Research and Extension for Successful Integrated Pest Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

A successful integrated pest management (IPM) program requires the integration of both research and extension. Current restrictions on pesticide use have demanded research on reduced-risk practices. For instance, in the US, the US Environmental Protection Agency Food Quality Protection Act (EPA FQPA) of 1996 imposes restrictions and tolerance reassessments on the use of broad-spectrum insecticides. Reduced-risk pest management practices include the use of softer pesticides, mating disruption technologies, development of degree-day models, geo-spatial technologies, cultural and ground cover management, and methods that conserve biological control agents. Constant threats from newly introduced pests are a major obstacle for IPM implementation because they disrupt existing practices. In addition, increased economic pressures that growers face, such as increased pesticide and labor costs and grower market competition, provide another dimension to this situation. More than ever the integration of multiple pest management tactics is needed for the development and implementation of sustainable IPM programs. The adoption of new technologies into existing IPM programs will depend on a comprehensive extension program that combines traditional forms of communication (e.g., outreach presentations, on-farm demonstrations, newsletters, factsheets, etc.) with new internet-based tools (e.g., WebPages, blogs, and webinars). Here we discuss various ways in which research and extension efforts can be coordinated to develop a successful pest management program. In particular, we provide examples based on our own experiences in peaches, blueberries, citrus, and apples.
